A Taste of France In Your Home
Host A Student From Our Sister School in February 2025
Would your family be interested in hosting a student from our sister school in France for 16 days in February 2025 (2nd to 19th)? A bed, meals, and a warm Australian welcome are what we need from our host families.
The French students need to be dropped off and collected from school each day. For bus-traveling hosts, we will provide the French students with a myki/bus pass so they can take the bus with you.
The French students are all Year 11 and Year 12 students, but hosting is open to any year level.
If you are interested in hosting or have any questions, please email Kelly Farrell as soon as possible - kelly.farrell@education.vic.gov.au
Families who have previously expressed an interest in hosting are also asked to email Kelly.
